Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.

An extra inch or two can do wonders

While I was busy ranting about the heat, Mr. RK built a kayak. From scratch.

I wish my brain worked in ways like that. He designed it and built it and then redid the inside a little because he was a bit too tall for it. Afterwards, he said enthusiastically, "You wouldn't believe what an extra inch or two can do!"

And I replied, "Oh yes I can!" (Joey, I came up with this title this just for you!)

It's 16 feet long. Because size matters.

At first I was too chicken to go out in this. I've gone canoeing but this looks a lot less stable and there's no one else in the vessel, so I am a bit afraid of tipping over. By the time I got over that, Mr. RK already planned two kayaking outings with no room for me.

We'll see who benefits from the extra inches.

Can you tell my brain has melted? I hope you all have a good Fourth (no offense to my friends in the UK!)

That is a BEAUTIFUL Kayak!! And, yes, size does make a difference....lol!Mr. RK is very very talented!!! Maybe he will build another one and then the two of you can go out together!!1 Sounds like great fun, to me!HAPPY 4th, my dear....!
